In June of 2007, mortality in cattle with clinical signs and lesions of acute hepatic insufficiency on a farm located in the hillside of Rio Grande do Sul mountain range was attributed to Cestrum intermedium consumption. From 17 bovines, two died up to 12 hours presenting clinical signs such as muscular tremors, incoordination, aggressiveness, lateral recumbence and death. Macroscopic lesions were found primary in the liver and were characterized by a slightly increased volume and diffuse accentuation of the lobules. Microscopically, the liver showed diffuse and accentuated centrilobular coagulative necrosis. The presence of Cestrum intermedium plants that was being ingested by the bovine associated with the hepatic lesions was decisive for the diagnosis.
